AGRICULTURE & LIVESTOCK SOLUTIONS
In livestock farming, even a small amount of moisture can lead to significant operational costs.
Hidden Challenges in Livestock Environments
In many livestock facilities, floors that appear dry may still contain moisture beneath the bedding surface. This moisture can create environmental conditions that contribute to ammonia formation. Over time, these conditions may affect both animal health and farm performance.
Tangible Impact
- Reduced animal health conditions
- Lower livestock growth performance
- Increased mortality risk
- Higher animal healthcare costs
Operational Impact
- Reduced confidence for farm operators
- Fluctuating production results
- Risk to farm management standards
The DONTUM Approach
DONTUM develops specialized solutions based on diatomaceous earth (DE) mineral technology. These solutions are designed to support environmental management in livestock operations. The Agriculture & Livestock portfolio includes:
- FarmDry™ Poultry Moisture control material designed for poultry houses.
- FarmDry™ Swine Developed for environmental management in pig farms.
- DE Terra™ วัตถุดิบปรับปรุงดินสาหรับเกษตรกร
These solutions support moisture control on livestock facility floors, helping farm operators manage environmental conditions more systematically.
Research & Field Study
Environmental conditions within livestock farms have been studied through research programs focused on moisture and ammonia dynamics.
Research includes analysis of: - moisture level changes in livestock bedding - ammonia formation within farm environments - environmental management strategies These research programs involve multi-million-baht investment to develop data that reflects real farm conditions. Because in agriculture, a single incorrect decision can affect the outcome of an entire production cycle.
